What to expect

The word "Acro-polis" means city by the edge. Towering over the capital, the Acropolis truly is an impressive sight and draws tourists from all around the world to witness the greatness of the ancient Greeks.
Within the Acropolis, the Parthenon, dedicated by the Athenians to Athena Parthenos, the patron of their city, is the most magnificent creation of the Athenian democracy at the height of its power. It is also the finest monument on the Acropolis in terms of both conception and execution. Built between 447 and 438 BC, as part of the great Periklean building project, it begun after the victory at the battle of Marathon. The Parthenon was designed by the architects Iktinos and Kallikrates, while the sculptor Pheidias supervised the entire building program and conceived the temple's sculptural decoration and the chryselephantine statue of Athena. You will also have the opportunity to admire other important monuments such as Propylae, Temple of Athena Nike, Parthenon, Erechtheion with its Porch of Maidens.
